...shown that long articles, however well written, are seldom read by the majority of students, and a college paper, to live, must be supported by every undergraduate. This fact, and the character of other college magazines convince us that one is not needed here, at least, and would not succeed if once started. We shall, therefore, watch the course of the Review with great interest. The other paper, The Times, lays no claim to the highly literary, but is full of college news and life.

As though the fund of energy from which they draw were inexhaustible, they overwork the mind by continuous and intense toil; driving through life with an anxious, careworn look, and without consideration...
...which quite demolishes the friends of science, whom it accuses of having "lifted up their heels against us and against science too. They have polluted the temple of God, they have sprinkled swine's blood in the Holy of Holies, they have tried to banish the Shekinah. Have they succeeded? Will they succeed...
